Magic: The Gathering -- Shandalar

In 1996, Acclaim and Valiant brought the world of Magic: The Gathering to comics with a two-issue mini-series set in the plane of Shandalar. Written by David Quinn with art by Bo Hampton, this series explores the dark fantasy of the trading card game's early lore, following a mage's struggle against the forces of corruption. Though brief, it stands as a distinct artifact of the 1990s licensed-comics boom, capturing the eerie, atmospheric tone that defined the game's original story.
